Acetylene (C2H2) is a gaseous hydrocarbon, colorless, unstable, highly combustible and with strong garlic odor. It is not an air gas and it produces a very hot flame (over 3000°C or 5400°C) when combined with oxygen.
Industrial Use
- Used mainly in the automatic lubrification for glass bottle production moulding.
- It is the fuel gas in Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS).
- It is the most effective and versatile fuel gas, enabling manual applications such as welding, brazing, cutting, straightening or any other localized heating process.
